B&W Sunset

This view towards the south ridge shows the Spacewatch 36 inch dome at left with the WIYN telescope in the middle distance just before sunset. After yesterdays B&W conversion and after watching the PBS American Experience episode on Ansel Adams last night, I couldn't help but publish this in B&W, though showing off the pretty color version is still very tempting..... This image was taken at 18mm focal length with an exposure of 1/60 seconds at f/8, ISO 400, converted in Picasa to B&W using a moderate red filter. Stronger red causes more grain patterns to appear.
